Our Families - Amazing Partners!

Our school team is SO grateful for all the support you've provided with this year's updated, mobile policy of "off/silent & away" during the entire instructional day. This single move is making a HUGE, positive impact on how students are engaging in learning and socializing -- exactly what middle school is all about! We have students participating in athletics and playing games during lunch -- all while meeting/making new friends (see image below). All those SMILES...reflecting JOY... it's what fills my soul-bucket. It's why each Cub Staff Member is committed to fostering a culture of BELONGING through DIGNITY - where ALL kids can be successful!

Counseling UPDATE

CKMS’s Anchored4Life Program begins in October! There are three groups: Cub Guides who help new students, Cub Crew who do presentations for 6th graders, and Care Cubs who promote our monthly themes throughout the school year. Kind, friendly students who’d like to help make CKMS a welcoming, amazing place are encouraged to apply!

Applications are due back to the Counseling Office this coming Monday, September 22nd. Students will find out their groups on Wednesday, September 24th.

Library UPDATE

The CKMS Library is open throughout the day for students and classes. Students enjoy the library space during their lunch break visiting with friends, reading, playing board games & chess, working on puzzles, playing legos, using arts & crafts materials, or catching up on work. The CKMS Library is a Happening Place!
